My choice was versatile speaker: That is, both for the mix but also in music listening as a hi-fi. On these two terms it meets the criteria with some gusto. You will hardly find a price / quality / power as well.
I use an EMU 1212m with making his job very well for the price.


SOUNDS

Manufacturer figures do not lie:
they go down incredibly well in the bass (without a sub either, and maintaining good precision) and the highs are extremely clear. A peculiarity of its speakers is probably their directivity: The stereo image is really well respected. any mix moves with breathtaking ease, but be careful to observe the famous "triangle". Nevertheless, this image disappears as soon as you place the speaker 3m ear which is not necessarily a good point. It is therefore between near and Mields field.
There are two things to note really, but then very restrictive. Wheezy see a medium and also reduces performance of low volume low (due to membrane Rohacell) that does not help the poor medium for these speakers. So if the snare does not sound not worry, it's normal here ...

They are not flat at all, indeed that is what I wanted. Already with a medium average and also with a serious boost and a high medium that I would call aggressive so it oppresses the ear. At some point we feel to have a filter car-audio loudness when listening to electronic records, which flatters the ear well when listening to music quietly.

One last item dark, it goes down to 40hz but in fact I found that if you put it something more serious than it will, it will tell you! Let me explain: I had the experience to do some mixes for some short film by putting infrabass. Well you hold, you can easily slammed the pregnant if you stuck him in a 30hz serious hard enough (no stronger than a different atmosphere, either), they are also a sound that can be scary! . In short, it's not very serious, we take care to put a filter Be yourself (I put my cup in the bottom of the Patchmix emu).


OVERALL OPINION

I have been using 3 / 4 month. I've tried (for loan) pretty young model like rock and vxt krk series, or even small Yam or higher-end model in Dynaudio (BM5A and 6 ...) and so on and the best.
Brief.
Actually I have consumed not heard much before buying. I liked it Desuite. As stated above the value for money is one of the best on the market that range.

By knowing its flaws (which I tended to exaggerate a bit without being too extravagant in) mix everything happening in honest terms. Again I would point out that their performance is not great. Do not model in a small room to hear everything as though it must push the volume pot! ! IT IS NOT PREGNANT NIERFIELD!

I recommend always having a listening alternative with his pregnant because of their response rather flattering.

The choice would be to redo recess, view price and spec, you close your eyes on those "small" defaults.

In conclusion: this is good pregnant with their defects
_ Performance
_ No medium
_ Too serious and high-medium
And quality
_ Powerful (good dynamic background noise barely noticeable)
_ Stereo extraordinary
_ Strong
_ The filters at the rear part well balanced enclosure
